Two useful enhancements for Django Debug Toolbar

Sometimes on my work I experience two typical issues: first one is that on unknown projects I don't know what objects was changes, how much objects was changed and what is deleted. To find out what's going on the current page(s) I have to study code of views, internal methods etc. Sometimes it's really pain in the ass, for example if I work on satchmo-based projects.

Another typical issue is hard way to keep valid HTML during long-term development. I don't want to add plugins to my browser which will validate my html. But I still need to develop clean and transparent HTML code. So I made decision to develop additional HTML Validator panel for Django Debug Toolbar.
